ISE 2025: “They don’t ask what can we do with your technology they ask what can’t we do with your technology”
AI tools and IP workflows have created exciting possibilities for the future of broadcast and proAV, but with their introduction comes great complexity and new hurdles. Standardisation, cybersecurity, sustainability, ROI, skills and training, and even potential political upheaval are all challenges to contend with for early adopters and integrators.

ISE 2025: AI, cloud and virtual production dominate trends at ISE 2025
What were the emerging and dominant trends at ISE 2025? IBC365 spoke with key figures from the M&E and proAV industries to discover what technologies were prevalent at this year’s show. Looking forward, work continues on the adoption of AI to automate tools and processes but more immediate priorities are arguably driven by the maturity of IP workflows and standards, as well as new possibilities brought about by virtual production technologies.

ISE 2025 – Stian Sagholen: “People are talking about it but not actually supplying the solutions”
Norwegian battery developer Klvr launched its rack-mounted AA charger at IBC2024, intending to eliminate single-use batteries in media. Coming from a proAV background, CEO Stian Sagholen explains that the “interest at IBC was way higher than we had anticipated”, but that this further demonstrates the convergence between proAV and broadcast. Sustainability is a core principle of Klvr, which aims to improve the industry’s green credentials by providing a “solution for a simple problem.”

ISE 2025 – Sergio Ammirata: “Interoperable standards such as RIST have become critical”
Sergio Ammirata from transport and transcoding specialist SipRadius sees major changes in three key areas: IP, low-latency and security. Broadcasters are increasingly adopting IP workflows while proAV users are demanding lower latency across transport and other functions. Cybersecurity is paramount to the adoption and transformation of both.

ISE 2025 – Spiro Plagakis: “They like that they’re able to use a combination of broadcast and proAV equipment easily”
Corporate clients are increasingly using both broadcast and proAV equipment to create content for both external and internal use, according to Spiro Plagakis from Matrox. A key element to this is the development of standards such as IPMX that enables all of the equipment to be used together.
